The Lakeside Daisy (Hymenoxys herbacea) is the rarest of Ohio's native plant species. The largest natural population of Lakeside Daisy in the US grows on the Marblehead Peninsula in Ottawa County. Since Marblehead is home to my "summer studio" I got to photograph these cute little flowers during their short blooming season.

The fabrics are my own hand dyed gradations. The flower petals & stems were fused to the background and thread painted with various shades of YLI Silk #100 thread. A few highlights were added with Tsukineko inks. Dream Poly Deluxe batting was used. Freehand quilted on my George quilting machine.
